Advanced search (Filters)

When you search for videos and other content on YouTube, you can refine your search by using filters.

After typing your search query in the search box at the top of any YouTube page, click the Filters drop-down menu below the search box.

You can filter by the type of content (e.g. video, playlist, or movie). For example, if one cute cat video isn’t enough, you can find an entire playlist of cute cat videos by clicking Playlist under “Result Type” in the Filters drop-down menu.
